There ARE restrictions for a few plants only as I found out on a previous thread of mine... http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/888709/ShowPost.aspx Those plants can carry Sudden Oak Death and should not be exported to France. You can buy them all there, so it's not worth transmitting the disease to France. Spuds are fine.... Hope that's  a help! Edit....just checked your reply Pierre!!!    Report

The list of plants you cannot take to France is short :- Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camellias & Viburnum. These are all possible carriers of Sudden Oak Death & are banned because of this. We have brought over loads of plants without trouble but it is worth remembering that Customs have the right to check your plants for health. It's never happen to us - they tend to look at the plants through the window &make some comment about us ob viously going to our property in France & leave it at that. House built, permanent by September we hope    Report
